CANAL TALKS

The Canals talk is another one with variations to suit the locality of the audience.

The most used one is a Yorkshire version, because most of my talks are in the county, and as well as giving an historical perspective on the history of the canal system it tells the story of the three famous cross - Pennine canals; the Huddersfield Narrow; the Rochdale and the Leeds and Liverpool canal.

However, I've been asked to give the talk in three areas of Bradford  -  Cullingworth, Thornton and Queensbury, so have felt obliged to do a variation of the basic Yorkshire talk to include the now closed Bradford Canal.
